M’hanncha

Give yourself plenty of time to make this scented, nutty pastry cake as it’s quite fiddly. But serve it as the Moroccans do at a family celebration and you’ll have a very happy audience for sure. The orange-flower water gives a delightful flavour to this M’hanncha, alongside the almonds and pistachios. And once you’ve mastered the art of baking this cake, you can make ‘snakes’ big enough to feed your entire family.
